In giving consent to her ordination and consecration, standing committees and bishops with jurisdiction attest to knowing of “no impediment on account of which” Bishop-elect Woodliff-Stanley ought not to be ordained as bishop, and that her election was conducted in accordance with the canons.

The Rev. Canon Ruth Woodliff-Stanley was elected bishop diocesan on May 1, 2021.
